In the sermon this past Sunday, we looked at the biblical topic of adoption. In Galatians 4, we see that adoption is the central theme of the good news of the Gospel. All that we have in Christ is a means to the end of being adopted into God’s family. God initiated our adoption at His costly expense and extended the free gift of son-ship to us by faith. As image bearers, God has called His people to reflect His character and heart to the world through caring for orphans. What does it mean to you that God has made a choice to adopt you and give you the gift of son-ship/daughter-ship? In what ways has God challenged you to get involved in caring for the orphans in our world as a reflection of the way God has cared for you?
